"It was a clean and great service. I had Mr Rodriguez redesign the front of my house with a small fountain which he installed perfectly and rearranged my rocks, removed the bad weeds, replant and plant new plants. He also put mulch. And lastly he put my night lights. Very good and beautiful work. I highly recommend him. Thank you once again."

"Inside Out has maintained my lawn for multiple years with exceptional care. Since they started, my lawn has never looked so good! The crew has taken on a number of other landscaping projects, and what ever they have taken on, the results have always exceeded my expectations.. I’ve referred them to friends, and my friends needs were also well taken care of. The business owner is likable, knowledable, and cares about his customers. I highly recommend InsideOut!"

"Project: Spring garden bed Clean Up & mulching. Shane and crew (I think his name was Tod) where great. Tod was very gentle with the plants and did a grate job spreading the mulch around. They were very open to direction and did what we asked. When we ran out of mulch, they even offered to come back and finish up when we get more mulch. All-in-all a great job. We are totally happy with their work and would use them again."

"Marcos is great! I called same day seeking emergency services to remove/disconnect a few sprinkler heads that were located in area being prepped for concrete. Marcos was extremely accommodating in fitting this service request in same day. They arrived on time as expected and were very polite and accommodating to our immediate needs. Not to mention, at a very reasonable cost, all considering. We are so impressed with this company, we've decided to move our irrigation and landscaping needs (net new landscaping) to Marcos. Exceptional!"

Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.
No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.
Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.
